I think the squad AT guy/team would be on his own, if he wants LMG covering fire then better that the 2IC is directing that.

You are right chuck. If we split a section into it's two component parts for fire base and movement, it would be 7 men (rifles), 3 men with 1 LMG.

I guess I'd assumed the unit was merely representing a LMG, rather than a 'half' a section, as SP doesn't provide a 7 man rifle team.

cheers,
Cross
